<\/p>\n Prompted Playlists brings a new level to the playlist game. It uses generative AI to build personalized playlists quickly using your prompts and listening habits.<\/p>\n Article continues below <\/p>\n You may like<\/p>\n As this is a beta feature, it\u2019s still rolling out in some regions, but a quick update of the app should allow you access to it if you don\u2019t have it already.<\/p>\n How to create your own Prompted Playlist<\/p>\n \n (Image credit: Kaspars Grinvalds \/ Shutterstock)<\/p>\n Creating your own Prompted Playlist couldn\u2019t be easier \u2014 all you need is a little creative flair. Head to the plus icon in the button on the right of the screen and select Prompted Playlist.<\/p>\n From here, Spotify asks you to \u201cdescribe your perfect playlist in as much detail as you want.\u201d Of course, the more detail you use, the more personal to you the playlist is going to be. Even if you only write a few lines, the generative AI does a great job of pulling together some great tracks that fit the brief.<\/p>\n But if you don\u2019t feel like wracking your brain for a detailed prompt, Spotify also has a whole bunch for you to choose from, and these are seemingly tailored to your personal taste.<\/p>\n While selecting what you want to make your playlist about, you can also set up a schedule for the playlist to continuously update, kind of like the Daylist options from the streaming service. I love this feature as it means you never get bored.<\/p>\n My results<\/p>\n \n (Image credit: Spotify)<\/p>\n I tried creating a few different playlists using prompts provided by Spotify. These included music that makes me feel like the main character in a movie of my life entitled \u201cMy Life as a Movie,\u201d and also what my taste would be like in the \u201880s, with a playlist called \u201cParallel Universe: My taste in Another Era.\u201d<\/p>\n Both of these playlists adopted a lot of music I already listen to, and added in a few surprise tracks that I hadn\u2019t listened to in a couple of years, or had never heard before. The \u201880s playlist intrigued me, as in the short description notes, it cited Sam Fender\u2019s anthemic rush and The 1975\u2019s neon groove as major influences. These are both artists who have spoken about their influences from the 80s, such as Bruce Springsteen and Joy Division.<\/p>\n What to read next<\/p>\n I\u2019ve had my Spotify account since I was in high school, so there\u2019s a lot of information for Spotify to be using about my listening habits to create the best playlists for my taste. And I think it does a great job.<\/p>\n My favorite playlist that I created was one for a hypothetical holiday. I love creating playlists when I\u2019m heading somewhere new, as I can use those songs to remind me of where I was and what I was doing \u2014 I\u2019m a sucker for nostalgia.<\/p>\n I told Spotify that I was heading on a trip to Italy with my friend and I wanted a playlist to capture the memories we would make. Spotify understood the assignment.<\/p>\n It gave me a playlist titled \u201cItalian Summer Memories\u201d (pretty on the nose), and it gave me the perfect summer mix. It also added in some regional tracks that I wouldn\u2019t have been listening to otherwise. I love being introduced to new music, so this is a great way to do that.<\/p>\n Am I going to be using it?<\/p>\n \n (Image credit: Shutterstock)<\/p>\n As I mentioned earlier, I love creating playlists. I have so many that I regularly rotate through based on genre, mood and activity. I often go through my Spotify and clean it up too, deleting and adding new playlists \u2013 it\u2019s pretty cathartic.<\/p>\n But I\u2019m an advocate for the romance of the humble playlist. Making a playlist for people you love, receiving playlists that remind someone of you, is one of the best feelings.<\/p>\n That said, my favorite part of the playlists created by Spotify is the short description of each song. I felt like I was learning a lot about the songs. But at times, this feels almost like a justification of why the song made its way into the playlist, but I appreciate learning a little about the music while I listen, and it creates an element of personalization.<\/p>\n I often worry that integration of AI into something so human as making a playlist for someone is troublesome \u2014 that we\u2019re losing the romance that comes with creation. But I think Spotify\u2019s Prompted Playlists offer a way of expressing your feelings without delving too far below the surface.<\/p>\n So if you just want some vibey tunes it\u2019\/s a great feature. But please, I quite literally beg, don\u2019t make a playlist for the person you love with AI.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n \n <\/a><\/p>\n Follow Tom’s Guide on Google News<\/a> and add us as a preferred source<\/a> to get our up-to-date news, analysis, and reviews in your feeds. <\/p>\n![\"Spotify\"](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/ny4fxGgV7hCio59XqsFYyQ.jpg\")
